LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2005 Midwest Top Prospect Showcase
Chris Roberts is a very athletic 6-1, 170 lb senior left handed hitting infielder from Wisconsin. He is an excellent runner at 6.71 in the 60, with easy strides and low effort athletic movements. Roberts is the type of player who could play any position on the field. He's a primary middle infielder who looked very good at second base at the showcase. Roberts range and actions are more natural there than at shortstop and he got to some balls that would have challenged upper level players. He has plenty of arm strength. A 6-1 left handed hitting second baseman with power and speed would be a big plus offensively on any team, too. Centerfield wouldn't be much of a challenge athletically, either. Offensively, Roberts has quick hands at the plate and very good raw bat speed. He tends to jump out at the ball and jam himself but the ball jumps hard off his bat on solid contact and he has present gap to gap power that could blossom as he gets stronger and more experienced. Roberts is a national level athlete who you sense is just beginning to scratch the surface of his baseball abilities.
